The Quiet One

The Quiet One I'm the girl with the dark brown eyes You don't notice the pain my smile belies I'm not in your circle, I'm a friend of none You only know me as...the quiet one With each passing day, I've learned to accept That no one will know of these secrets I've kept I want to be brave, but I've nowhere to run What would you expect from...the quiet one I scream in silence, for there's no one to hear You pass me in the hall, unaware of my fear There's no escape, until my sentence is done How do you think I became...the quiet one **Dedicated to survivors of incest everywhere
